Dinosaurs Alive

Dinosaurs Alive!® is BACK
THE BEASTS ARE BACK AND THEY BROUGHT A FRIEND!

This year, the Zoo welcomed a new dinosaur with a Manitoba connection to the exhibit for a total of 16 life-sized animatronic giants.

Tylosaurus (TIE-low-SAUR-us) pembinensis was a ferocious beast that ruled the waters that covered Manitoba during the Cretaceous Period. Turtles, fish, sharks, ammonites, plesiosaurs and even flightless diving birds swam through the shallow interior seaway. Stalking all of them was Tylosaurus.

With the addition of the Tylosaurus, the exhibit now features all three categories of apex
predators – land, air and sea. Learn more about these giants from our prehistoric past on your next visit to the Zoo!

Dinosaurs Alive!® provides visitors with an opportunity to step back in time to the prehistoric era as the lifelike dinosaurs move and roar demonstrating how they may have looked and moved in a natural environment millions of years ago. In addition to the dinosaurs themselves, the exhibit features a dig site and excavation site where children of all ages can discover what it’s like to be a paleontologist.

Dinosaurs Alive!® is included with Zoo admission and will be here until October 31. Don't miss it!

Dinosaurs Alive!® is made possible through support from presenting sponsor Artis REIT as well as numerous supporting partners and sponsors.
